The 65 or 50 should work for you ,90 might be a little bit too heavy for your rod

Ugly stick is a great rod. I have two. A 9 ft rod shall be perfect with your Okuma reel. Gary

It should be cuz you can set the baitrunner to how your pole is. I think you can use it on any pole if you set it right

I have the ABF 40 on a 6.5' ugly stick. Works great. An ABF 90 should do well on a 9' rod.

Absolutely. I have mine on an ugly stik 7' with 20lb braided and it is literally righteous. Do it. It will be bad.

I own several Okumas and have owned others in the past. They are excellent performers. The only ones that have failed me are those that escaped over the side of the boat when I was not paying attention. I use 40s and 50s for trolling and coastal fishing. I use 20s and 30s for throwing lures for bass. I think that the 30 will do the job for you without wearing you out. I use 8 lb. mono on my 30s and have had no issues. Great reel.

I use both the 9/0 (115) and a 12/0 on this rod. It is built very well. Solid rod for the price. The 9/0 is a bit dwarfed on this rod, you could definitely go with one size down, but for 130lb line, this rod is fine.

I wouldn't. I bought several of them to take kids fishing, and a couple of them broke. I loved the concept of the Shakespeare rod, but I was disappointed.

GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon. I've even jigged for ling cod but it's not as efficient as a shorter, stouter glass rod. I'm able to back bounce for steelhead as well. However, it can be alot of pole length on a busy drift boat so I borrowed my sons Okuma Blu Diamond BD-C-762MLa 7' 6" and it proved challenging with a fish on in big volume water. I'm happy with the trade-off of having one rod for multiple uses as opposed to multiple rods. Both of my boys just started salmon fishing so I like the economy of these rods, hopefully they will be durable as well. Hope this info helps-ML

There are many rod of this length. Both fresh and saltwater. My serf rods of choice are between 9 and 11 ft. I love Ugly sticks because you can use light to heavy test line and the fight is the same. If you go tall then get something as light as you can.

Yes I have mine on a 10'6'' switch rod with 9wt holds lots of backing and works great landed an 18 lb. Steelhead caught last week on the Rogue River. Don, Southern Oregon.

as long as the tank is deep enough to accept the rod length you will be fine

It will work just fine! Keep in mind what you are fishing for and always balance your rod/reel with each other...

Yes, you can use it on a 5 or 5 1/2 ft. light action rod. I have mine a 5 ft. Shakespeare Ugly Stick. Make sure that the reel seat has adequate space to accomodate the reel.One of my light action rods did not have enought clearance, so the reel kept slipping off.

Hi Allen, the model of your okuma 4000 baitfeeder is? ABF 20, ABF 30, ABF 40, ABF 50, ABF 65 or ABF 90.

I ordered the 6'6" one (BWSJL220066) and the guides on it are for spinning reels. Also see this link: http://www.shakespeare-fishing.com/Ugly-Stik%C2%AE-Tiger%E2%84%A2-Jigging-Rod/1292170,default,pd.html#prefn1=ZZRLN&prefv1=6%2525273%252522&start=1

It is a fairly short and stiff rod. It will not cast a line much distance. If you basically drop lines straight down and just need the stiffness of the rod for bringing fish up, you should be okay with this rod.

For me I have found that the best fit, feel, and the best response is using a 7' fast or extra fast rod. That's just me. Brand of rod is a personal preference thing......Daiwa or G-Loomis.

Do not buy daiwa rod - they are junk - spend a bit more for quality ugly stik
